Quakerism This Month

The testimony of Integrity is the focus of our Quakerism curriculum for this final month of the school year. Integrity, by definition, is a firm adherence to a moral code or set of values. With our youngest children, we talk in simple terms about honesty and truth telling. For older children and adults, discussions become increasingly complex and reflective as we first explore what our beliefs are. We then focus on the importance of remaining true to these beliefs, even in the face of challenging situations, and introduce and practice the skills that help us to do so.


Parents are welcome to join us for worship:
Thursday, May 7, 8:55 a.m.
Thursday, May 21, 8:55 a.m.
Thursday, May 28, 8:35 Meeting for Singing, 8:55 Meeting for Worship


Our plan to enjoy worship outside last month, when our theme was Stewardship, was “washed out.” We may still try to enjoy this experience when the weather allows.

Thank you for posting each month's theme and the Meeting for Worship schedule. I try to attend as often as possible and the schedule really helps!
